No, not the Xinhua News Agency. The Xinhua Daily. And those demands were made rather a long time ago. The paper was launched in 1938 as the mouthpiece of the Communist Party in KMT-controlled regions. (In Communist-controlled territory, the main official paper was the Liberation Daily.) After the defeat of the KMT, the Xinhua Daily became the official party newspaper of Jiangsu province. Sunday will be its 71st anniversary.
So what about those demands for democracy and human rights, not to mention universal suffrage, general elections and freedom of speech? These were the subject of many editorials in the Xinhua Daily before 1949. Since all of these things were put into practice after 1949, there was no need for the Xinhua Daily to continue calling for them.
